My favourite thing is to have a day to just ”putter around” at home, bake something, cook food, be in my garden. When I have the puttering around mindset I find I’m very relaxed but get a lot done, but completely stress free.
Thank you! This really encouraged and challenged me. I’ve found myself in a place of overwhelm. As you were talking it reminded me of Jesus’ words “Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.” ❤
This is one of my favorite videos you have ever done. 💕 I too get very overwhelmed when I rush. Sometimes I can feel a sense of comparison or even envy watching how much other homemakers accomplish, so this was such an encouraging message.
I’ve been a follower since early Becca days in dietitian school! I’ve seen you live through so many seasons and this is by far my favorite. You have become so wise and generous with the way you give to yourself, family, and us. Your message made me tear up! I do believe it may be time to reevaluate my priorities and systems. Thank you Becca! ❤
I loved this video, Becca. I so often feel overwhelmed with all my responsibilities but as you've touched on before, being organized and doing the little things every time they come up helps so much. I've recently started a binder with tasks for each day like you suggested and it's helping so much!! When my house isn't in chaos I am a much happier Mom and Wife.
This video brought me to tears a bit. Even though I stay home with my young kids, I feel constantly overwhelmed with the need to stay busy and have a perfect house. This video inspired me to make changes.
This was so good. It really resonated with me. As do most of your videos. But I love how short and sweet this was. Thank you so much for the gentle reminders.
Thank you for being the light Becca and thank you for the encouragement! ❤ I’m also a mom of 4, so I get it! You definitely have inspired me to buy a flour mill and bake my own bread at home. Thank you for the videos that you put out, they are very inspiring! God bless you even more! ❤
I have kids the same age group as you and would love to see how you handle homeschooling and keeping the toddlers busy while you take care of household chores.
My oldest is in school actually! I am doing homeschool pre-K with my 3 year old, but it's mostly just doing life together and occasionally sitting down with a pre-k book (good and beautiful) so I feel like I can't really speak to that!! Truly amazed by the moms who balance all of that though!
This was great, thank you. For books on this subject I highly recommend "The Plan" by Kendra Adachi and "How to Keep House While Drowning" by K.C. Davis.
I get the opposite impression from our society- I think being NOT busy is deemed negative… I really lean into a slower lifestyle & I feel very much alone in my choice 😂❤😇
Something for every busy and overwhelmed person to think about is that God rested after creation. He didn’t do this because he needed rest. He commands that we do it as well. He knew how busy we would be so he COMMANDS that we rest one full day/night a week. It is truly a blessing that has unfortunately been stolen from the average Christian.
I'm honestly rushing my daughter around bc my little baby is very demanding and needs my attention all the time. I feel like there is nothing I can reevaluate to make simpler when I'm barely able to vacuum the floors, dishes and shower. I just started working out after birth and that's been tough to find the time.. but there is nothing I can cut out to make room for priorities. I have no time to make my husband work lunch the next day 😢
Just try to keep in mind it's a season... it will pass. I'm pregnant with my 5th ad believe it or not with each baby it gets easier. You are dealing with 2 babies for the first time it is hard work.
@lindseybast2888 Thank you for your kind words!! I tend to put to much on my plate I barely have time to read my books. I'm praying my husband can support me through motherhood more, it's so tough
Hey Becca, would you be interested in hosting a live workshop together so we can teach more moms who are struggling to find balance in day to day life ?

Ah yes!!! I agree with this 1000x
Thank you! This really encouraged and challenged me. I’ve found myself in a place of overwhelm. As you were talking it reminded me of Jesus’ words “Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.” ❤
One of my favorite verses of all time. Praise God for his rest!

I'm so glad to hear that. Social media can be tricky as we want to uplift & inspire but it's so important to remember we're all I the same boat :)
You are such a solid, calming best friend to have in internet land😉💛
I feel the same about her ❤
Aw thank you Stacie!! I really wish we could all sit down and have coffee together, truly
Love you Orsi!! xx
@@BeccaBristow that would be so amazing!❤
I love the scenes where you are working with your children. It's clear they are fully participating in the activities.
Yes love bringing them into the kitchen with me even if it takes 5x longer lol! So worth it

Ooh yay thank you I always love book recs!!
Trying not to stress and rush … thanks for the video 😊
Thanks for watching!!

Oh no I agree I think there's generally so much pressure to keep up

He knew how busy we would be so he COMMANDS that we rest one full day/night a week. It is truly a blessing that has unfortunately been stolen from the average Christian.
Ah, such true words!! Thank you for this. Rest is so necessary!
Hey Becca, thank you for sharing! Where did you order your water kefir grains from? Thanks!
cultures for health! I got the endless ones so they were ready to go right away :)

Oh adding to my amazon cart right now lol thank you!!

Yes I agree, learning to juggle 2 babies is a whole new ballgame! It's a tough season but take a deep breath mama you are doing a great job
❤❤❤
